openni kinect depth_registered

running ros kinetic, ubunto 16.04, gazebo 7.

trying to use an openni kinect on gazebo. i need to subscribe, or at least echo depthregistered but it isn't even publishing. does anyone have any idea on how to to access depthregistered while in simulation? rqtreconfigure doesn't give me the option (as suggested here http://wiki.ros.org/opennilaunch#Registration).

did i miss anything on the installation? any advice is much appreciated. i will provide more info if need be

How have you included the camera in gazebo? Please provide the config files for the camera. It should be something like this: https://github.com/rosbook/effective_robotics_programming_with_ros/blob/master/chapter7_tutorials/rosbook_arm_description/urdf/sensors/xtion_pro_live.gazebo.xacro .

In that file, one provides the names of the topics that data will be published to. You can see if they're being published using rostopic echo <topic name> and rostopic list when running the node.

I believe the link you shared is for actual hardware devices and not cameras in simulation. Use the link I shared above as a reference. Lemme know here if you have any further doubts, I'll add an answer.

@shreeyak can you explain why there are two sets of camera parameters? it seems that they've set parameters for rgb and depth separately. why is it so? is there a benefit to doing this?
